Angela Morrison's Taken By Storm Promo Blitz

We have not had a chance to read Angela Morrison's Taken By Storm series but Laurie did read and fall in love with the author's other book, Sing Me To Sleep (her review). That was a beautifully written story so we can only imagine how gorgeous Taken By Storm is. Celebrating her novel's 10th year Anniversary, the author is holding lots of events, like today's Promo Blitz. We hope everyone gets a chance to experience Taken By Storm.

Author Bio: Angela Morrison is the award-winning YA author of Taken by Storm (Books 1-3) and Sing me to Sleep. She graduated from Brigham Young University and holds an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts. She grew up in Eastern Washington on the wheat farm where Taken by Storm is set. She's an advanced NAUI, Nitrox certified scuba diver. The hurricane that kills Michael's parents was inspired by a real-life diving accident.

After over a decade in Canada, Switzerland, and Singapore, Angela and her family are happily settled in Mesa, Arizona. She enjoys speaking to writers and readers of all ages about her craft. She has four children--mostly grown up--and the most remarkable grandson in the universe.

Synopsis: Mormon girl Leesie has life figured out until devastated Michael lands in her small town high school. He needs her like no one has before. A rare journey into a faithful LDS teen’s intimate struggle.

"[Morrison] handles the topics of religion and premarital sex gracefully without passing judgment. The message has less to do with religion than learning to respect and cherish others while staying true to one’s own beliefs.” – Publisher’s Weekly, starred review
